Missouri town gets new newspaper, The Uranus Examiner

Controversy surrounds new Pulaski County newspaper's name

"The Uranus Examiner."

That's the name Natalie Sanders, the managing editor, announced Wednesday afternoon.

"We had thought about Constitution, but most of our, the people who love us, and who were part of coming up with the name, liked the 'examiner' better," Sanders said."

The announcement was made Wednesday at a Chamber of Commerce Luncheon after the Waynesville Daily Guide was shut down by their parent company, GateHouse Media, on Friday.

The the man they consider the "Mayor of Uranus", Louie Keen, is backing the new weekly newspaper to fill the void left behind by the Waynesville Daily Guide.

I agree with the Waynesville Mayor that "Uranus Examiner" is not a name you give to a serious newspaper.

"Sanders is the former managing editor of the Waynesville Daily Guide. She left the now-defunct paper in June, and had teamed up with the tourist attraction, Uranus, to start what she calls a "fun" paper for marketing the businesses and attractions at the tourist town."

I am laughing at all of your comments. Now I have to see if I can get that fudge delivered to my brother for Christmas or something. I can just imagine people getting boxes in the mail from Uranus Fudge Factory

They could have just called it The Proctoscope or Anoscope and be done with it.
